Language Acquisition in Science Education for Rural Schools

Principal Investigator: Patricia L. Stoddart

Associate Investigators: Roberta M. Jaffe; Lucinda Pease-Alvarez

Performing Organization: University of California-Santa Cruz, Department of

Studies in Education, Santa Cruz, CA 95064

Summary: This project focuses on implementing systemic change in the teaching of elementary school science to bilingual students so that they have access to a challenging science curriculum that builds on their cultural and linguistic resources. In achieving this aim, the program will become a vehicle for integrating, restructuring, and enhancing the science curriculum and language development programs in seven school districts and for establishing links to the Latino families and rural agricultural communities from which students come. The locus of the project activities will be the school site. The staff development program will be tailored to address school and district priorities, and will support teachers in the implementation and planning of a comprehensive science curriculum that addresses content and language development goals. In addition, the evaluation of the project will include a research component designed to gather information that will help teachers forge links between learning science and doing science in an authentic context that relates to students' scientific conceptions, language, and culture.

It is widely believed that a critical period exists for second-language (L2) speech learning. However, the actual cause(s) of foreign accent remain uncertain. The research proposed here will evaluate a model that attempts to account for age-related changes in bilinguals' production and perception of vowels and consonants ("sounds") in their L2 and in their native language (L1).

Language and Literacy in Bilingual Children
Principal Investigator: D. Kimbrough Oller
Performing Organization: University of Miami Coral Gables, Coral Gables, Florida

The proposed research will consist of a linguistically diverse, proactive investigation of the effects of social and linguistic backgrounds of children on learning under two widely different training methods.

How do we effectively teach children from homes in which a language other than English is spoken?

In Improving Schooling for Language-Minority Children, a committee of experts focuses on this central question, striving toward the construction of a strong and credible knowledge base to inform the activities of those who educate children as well as those who fund and conduct research.

The book reviews a broad range of studies—from basic ones on language, literacy, and learning to others in educational settings. The committee proposes a research agenda that responds to issues of policy and practice yet maintains scientific integrity.

This comprehensive volume provides perspective on the history of bilingual education in the United States; summarizes relevant research on development of a second language, literacy, and content knowledge; reviews past evaluation studies; explores what we know about effective schools and classrooms for these children; examines research on the education of teachers of culturally and linguistically diverse students; critically reviews the system for the collection of education statistics as it relates to this student population; and recommends changes in the infrastructure that supports research on these students.
